Solar Gardens Offers A Greener Tomorrow With A Board Game Today
Most games set in the cities of the future are cyberpunk in nature. They see cities as brutal dystopian fortresses. But the latest release from Darrington Press sees cities as an important part of the process to make our world to a better place. Solar Gardens puts the concept of urban sustainability into a tile laying game. Players compete to build the most lovely rooftop garden at the top of their futuristic skyscraper. While the gardens in the game built by the players are big and forward looking, the original design started as a small look to the past. 'I first played Alex's original prototype when it was a Zen garden game,' said Eric Slauson, co-designer of Solar Gardens. 'It was much more zoomed in. A little tiny space that you were building.' 'It was koi ponds, little pagoda statues, things like that,' said Alex Culter, co-designer of Solar Gardens. 'It was very peaceful and pastoral like a lot of tile laying games are. But I knew at some level it was a theme that would get bumped up or replaced. The theme was kind of a placeholder. We knew that once we found a publisher that felt very strongly about the mechanics that we could shape the theme in whatever direction we wanted to go.'

While the company has been getting rave reviews for Daggerheart they are making moves into the board game space with titles like Queen By Midnight. Even with their non-RPG games, Darrington Press wants to tell stories. 'I was familiar with their general vibe, world building and positivity around the table,' said Slauson. 'I thought this would be a good fit. We sent them the zen garden version. They had a blast playing it in the office. Of course, everyone who plays it does. They came back with 'what about elevating the scope a little bit? What if we're thinking about sustainability? What if we're thinking about community gardening?' That was the first prompt. What can this look like in a larger sense? I'm a theme first designer. I love theme, I love world building. So I ran with that and Alex let me change the prototype.' Tile laying games offer communal experience that's competitive but also can feel cooperative. Everyone is trying to build something together but also trying to make the best possible version of the thing. With one tile to pick or pass every turn, there's a risk that keeps everyone's attention during the game. 'The most fun aspect of this game is the push your luck [element],' said Cutler. 'Every single turn, every single player is making a choice. Whether you're the lead-off player or you're in the last position, you're still making choices about what's coming to you. Your valuation is changing every single turn of every single round. Is this tile good for me? Is this tile good for someone else? I think it adds a lot of layers to the game. I think it's a game that can be played with a group that's very friendly and calm. But also, the first time I ever played the game with Eric was at Gen Con with a large group of people.I have never heard more sailor mouthed crap talking at one table.' 'Even though it's a tile layer and you're doing the drafting and the placement you do in a lot of other dry, Euro kind of games,' said Slauson, 'because it's so social, because everyone interacts every tile someone drafts you care about. Everybody is watching what everybody else's board is doing. There are so many moments of reaction. We found that people who play in a more reserved style can't help but cheer.' In addition to the theming, Darrington Press is making sure each copy of the game sold helps sustainability in the real world. Solar Gardens is made of biodegradable, plastic-free materials and uses paper stickers to hold the game box together in transit. As part of the National Forest Foundation's Sapling Program, each copy sold helps fund reforestation efforts in U.S. national parks. 'No matter how cutthroat [you are] as a player, you're still being benevolent,' said Slauson. 'I showed you! I built a perfect garden for society!' Solar Gardens is available directly from Darrington Press and online retailers like Amazon.

Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) drives a convertible to the hotel, where a crowd has gathered to greet them. Nick (Jack Wagner) meets up with his boat manager, who promises that the boat will be ready for his 'special plans' the following day. Taylor (Rebecca Budig) gets a text from Ridge saying they've arrived. Donna (Jennifer Gareis) says Italy is one of her favorite places to be. But she misses her Honeybear, and Taylor misses Ridge, too. Finn (Tanner Novlan) sees Li (Naomi Matsuda) walking by his office, and she has a box with her. She tells him she's taking a leave of absence for a while. Finn reminds her that she loves working, so he wants to know what's really going on. Li says that everything that happened with Luna took a toll, and she needs some time. Donna and Taylor study pictures of their loved ones and wish they were there. Taylor says they'll be there on the next trip when it's not all about business. Taylor wonders if Nick will be crashing the party, and Donna admits she hasn't heard Nick's name in a long time. Taylor says he's taking over Marone Industries, taking over the whole fleet. They marvel at how he washed up on shore and changed their lives. They both remember the Shady Marlin, the boat where Nick and Brooke were married. Donna wonders if they could have a future again. She doesn't know how her sister is feeling about him. While she wants her sister to be happy, she knows Ridge is the only man who can make her happy. 'Sorry,' she adds. At the hotel, Brooke is welcomed to the town in front of excited onlookers. At the dock, Nick tells his boat manager that he has a special date planned. His manager says that if you kiss your partner while going under the rocks, your love will last forever. 'That's the plan,' Nick agrees. There's a rooftop reception for the Forrester team while they wait for their room. 'Let the magic of Italy begin,' Eric says. Finn asks if Li needs help moving out of her office, and he wonders why she didn't mention it. Is she unhappy at the hospital? Li says it's time to step away for a bit, then she pivots to ask about Steffy taking some time away, too. 'At least it's only temporary,' she says. Finn knows Steffy will be home, after Luna almost made it so that he'd never see her again. Li frowns. Donna marvels that Nick could be in Naples at the same time, and she asks Taylor if she's sure he'll be there. Taylor says Brooke keeps forgetting that Ridge is engaged, which leads Donna to see that Taylor is hoping Nick shows up to keep Brooke busy and away from Ridge. There's a problem with the boat, which means Nick is having trouble getting his plans in motion. He looks up and sees Brooke on the rooftop. 'Let the fun begin,' he says. Eric addresses the crowd, telling everyone that they're going to have a wonderful time in Naples. Finn asks how long Li will be away and whether she'll be in town. Li hasn't figured it all out. She's focused on getting some rest and reading a book. Finn can't believe she's taking a vacation on a whim, to which Li says it's more than time. She grabs her things and leaves, adding there's something she needs to do that she should have done a long time ago. Donna says Brooke has more class than Taylor gives her credit for. Donna reminds her that Ridge and Nick don't get along at all, but she has to admit that Nick is 'quite the romantic.' Taylor hopes he pulls out all the stops, and she knows they would make a great couple. Donna jokes that Taylor bought the plane ticket for Nick herself. Ridge is looking out over the water when he sees a Marone boat. He joins Brooke, who is talking to some fans about their inspiration. They take a picture together, then Ridge excuses himself. Eric goes over the details of his plan for Capri with his intern. Brooke is looking at the marina when Nick walks up. 'Ciao, bella!' he says. Li walks into her apartment, which is full of medical supplies. The box she was carrying was also full of supplies. She pulls a curtain and there's an IV stand, which she adjusts. Then she looks at her patient. It's Luna (Lisa Yamada), only now she's blonde. Li looks concerned. Taylor explains that Nick came to her for advice on Brooke. It shouldn't be that confusing, given that Taylor is wearing an engagement ring. She truly wants what's best for Brooke, which Donna points out is a relationship with Nick, not Ridge. 'Ridge has moved on,' Taylor says, adding that they're planning their wedding. She suggests that Donna get on board the Nick-Brooke reunion, but Donna says that Nick isn't Brooke's first choice. Taylor says if Brooke wants happiness, it has to be with Nick. Brooke is thrilled to see Nick and says she might be able to squeeze him in. He's not taking no for an answer. Eric watches as Nick kisses Brooke, and they smile at each other with Italy in the background. The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS and the following day on Paramount Plus.

Boy Meets World Praised For Resurfaced Gay Joke
It's fair to say that whenever a clip from an old movie or TV show resurfaces online, it typically doesn't go down too well amid today's cultural climate. Whether it's a joke that no longer lands, a stereotype that's aged poorly, or even just an entire storyline that feels shockingly inappropriate by modern standards, it's incredibly rare that the content from decades ago manages to age well. Which is why Boy Meets World fans were left pleasantly surprised when they rewatched a 'gay joke' from a 2000 episode of the show that was recently posted to Reddit. The clip was taken from Season 7, episode 13: 'The Provider,' which first aired more than 25 years ago, in January 2000. For context, one of the episode's storylines follows Eric Matthews, played by Will Friedle, after he finds a 'lucky penny' on the floor. To prove that the penny has made him invincible, he tells his friends to watch as he seemingly goes to pick a fight with a burly footballer called Rocco in front of his teammates. Approaching Rocco while his friends look on in horror, Eric says: 'Hey, Rocco, just curiously, as an athlete on the football team, is it a distraction being gay?' The live studio audience gasps at this question, but they were delivered an instant plot twist when Rocco gently reaches out to Eric and exclaims: 'Thank you.' 'It's OK,' Eric kindly smiles back, reaching out to comfort the footballer. Rocco then tells his teammates: 'I've been holding it in for so long… Fellas, I'm gay.' But his teammates barely react, with two of them replying: 'That's OK, Rocco, so are we!' And after pressing play on this clip with bated breath when it resurfaced on Reddit, viewers were pleased that a 'gay joke' that initially appeared to be set up for a cheap laugh or offensive punchline actually flipped the script entirely. The moment became sincere and emotional rather than a gag, and this inversion challenges the audience's expectation that a joke about sexuality will be derogatory, which was pretty progressive for of making anybody the butt of the joke or degrading a character, the humor in this scene comes from the surprise twist, and the irony of multiple members of the football team being sets a tone of normalization instead of ridicule when it comes to representing gay characters on screen, and also offers a surprisingly refreshing image of masculinity and male friendship for this time. Needless to say, people were quick to share how impressed they were by the scene in the forum's comments, with one person writing: 'That's an actually great and powerfully positive joke that was definitely ahead of its time 👏' 'Based on the title I was already cringing but that was actually a really great message, especially for the 90s. It could have gone real bad real fast,' somebody else added: 'I remember this. Great scene and messaging.'Others acknowledged that the scene was actually in keeping with Eric's character, too, as throughout the show he was always shown to be hugely emotionally intelligent — despite other shortcomings that turned him into bit of a caricature at wrote: 'I appreciate how they kept Eric's insightfulness about people til the end, despite his flanderization. For however dumb he seemed otherwise, he really could read people and connect with them well.'And another concluded: 'Eric Matthews- Subverting everyone's expectations since the 90s.'
